Spent the better part of a day with Captain Jack and loved every minute! Laid back, upbeat captain with a great sense of humor. 6 species of fish on the hook with bonus manatee and dolphin sightings. 10/10 stars! Thank you, Jack!

Great day on the water. Captain Jack put us on the fish quickly. After catching our limit of Trout we moved onto Snook fishing and had a great time pulling them in.
